Color me shocked that trying to teach a teenager not to think about themselves so much is going to fail. Mindfulness only works when you put the effort in to seek the equanimity it provides. I think it's hard for kids to make being calm and composed a virtue. You kind of have to get there as a consequence of experiencing a lot of chaos. I think 2 hours of sport before all school would do more for most kids. Even if it was just a 2 hour walk outdoors.
